Overall Performance:

Lucia Drezza had an impressive performance at the 2024 Milan Hyrox race. Finishing 412th overall and 110th in her age group, she proved to be a strong competitor in a field of 2043 athletes. Her total running time of 48:36, which was 02:09 faster than the average, demonstrates her strong running abilities. Across all the running segments, Lucia maintained a pace that was consistently faster than average, allowing her to gain a significant amount of time. Her best running lap was clocked at 05:34, which was considerably fast. Lucia’s performance indicates a strong runner profile, with a noticeable ability to maintain a swift pace over the course of the race.

Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was Lucia’s weakest, with a time of 08:43, which was 01:36 slower than the average. To improve her performance in this segment, she might want to incorporate more plyometric exercises into her training routine. Box jumps, broad jumps, and burpee variations could help to increase her explosive power and speed. Additionally, practicing burpees with a broad jump in a fatigue state, similar to how she would experience in a race, could also be beneficial.
• Wall Balls: Lucia completed this segment in 06:27, which was 01:09 slower than the average. To improve her performance in wall balls, she should focus on her form and strength. Squat and throw drills with a medicine ball might help her to get accustomed to the movement. Also, performing wall balls after a running segment in her training could help to mimic the race conditions and improve her performance under fatigue.
• Sled Pull and Sled Push: These segments were also challenging for Lucia, with times slower than the average. Incorporating more strength training, specifically targeted at her lower body and core, could help her improve in these areas. Exercises like deadlifts, squats, and lunges could strengthen her legs, while planks and Russian twists could help to build a stronger core. Practicing these movements with a sled during training could further enhance her performance.
• Roxzone: Lucia's Roxzone time was only 00:17 faster than average, indicating there's room for improvement. Increasing her overall fitness level, as well as focusing on transition efficiency, could help to decrease this time. Specific drills focusing on swift and efficient transition from one exercise to another might be beneficial.

Race Strategies:

While Lucia has strong running abilities, her performance could benefit from a more balanced approach between running and strength segments. Rather than starting too fast in the running segments, she could conserve some energy for the strength-based exercises where she tends to lose more time. Practicing the transition between running and strength segments could also help to improve her overall time. Moreover, she might benefit from a tailored training plan that incorporates more strength work, specifically focusing on the exercises she found most challenging during the race.
